Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Given the old lady's temper, I don't think it's possible for her to give in to others," said Zhang.

"Mom, just wait," Xiao Lan said with a smile, "You can be right if you listen to me on this matter."

The only thing that does not change in this world is change. Although Cui is overbearing and does not take her daughter-in-law seriously, there is a saying that the situation is stronger than the person. What is the situation in the old house now? The old house, including Mr. Sheng, is standing on the opposite side of Xiaolan, and now there is Lanhua. Lanhua is smart, and you can see that from the fact that she helped Xiaolan everywhere today. The current situation is also the most important for her. If she wants to save her family, she must ask Xiaolan's family for help, and in order to let Xiaolan's family help her, she must do what Xiaolan's family is satisfied with.

If she had apologized to Zhang as Xiaofu, she would have done it long ago. However, she was too weak to speak out. Lanhua knew that she was not powerful enough... Xiaolan had given her a hint today. Xiaolan believed that Lanhua would deal with Cui...

Xiao Lan also felt that Lan Hua could definitely do it from Cui's various behaviors today. The old lady pretended to be crazy and stupid. She hit Mr. Sheng, his son, and his daughter-in-law who tried to stop her, but she didn't touch Lan Hua at all. You know, Lan Hua tried her best to stop Cui just now, and even suffocated her. Xiao Lan saw it clearly at that time. Although Cui's eyes were angry at that time, she was reluctant to hit her own daughter with both hands.

Xiao Lan was very sure that if Lanhua had stopped the old lady at that time, if it had been someone else, Cui would have scratched her face, but Lanhua was unscathed...

"Mom, the old lady loves her daughter and will definitely come over tomorrow." Xiao Lan said firmly.

Forced by the situation and out of love for Lanhua, Cui would probably give in to this soft move.

"The old lady really pissed off my grandfather this time. You didn't see it. When the old lady finished drinking the medicine and started making a fuss again, my grandfather got so angry that he just hid away..." Xiao Ye continued the previous topic and said to Zhang and Liu.

"Xiao Ye, you are wrong. Grandpa is really angry, but it's not just because of the old lady... He is mainly angry because of the presence of outsiders. The family is in such a mess. He is angry... This outsider does not only refer to Doctor Li, you and I are also outsiders." Xiao Lan pointed at herself and Xiao Ye and said, "He is angry. With the presence of us, the old house has become like this... The old man still protects the old lady in his heart..."

Xiao Ye's eyes were full of doubts. Seeing this, Xiao Lan explained to her, "We gave the old lady so much medicine, and the old man felt distressed. He was angry with us..." Seeing that there was no outsider in the room, Xiao Lan told the truth. Even if Liu told Sheng Hao these words after returning home, it didn't matter. No matter what Sheng Hao thought in his heart, he was not a person who liked to gossip.

Then Xiao Lan began to narrate, "I tried to invite Doctor Li to come and treat our grandma, but the old man stopped me, saying that the old lady was just like that and didn't need to be treated... Later, Doctor Li came and asked him questions, and he said the same thing... The old man never said a word that the old lady was faking illness. If he had said that earlier, the matter would have been resolved long ago, and there would be no need to drag it on until now."

"I know what the old man is thinking," Zhang said, "The old man wants us to help them keep this matter secret. He wants us to be patient and give in, so as to save his family's face..."

"Mom, you are absolutely right. I think so too," Xiao Lan said with a smile, "My grandfather must think that the old lady is ignorant, but if she is ignorant, can we follow her and be ignorant as well?"

At that time, the old man hid away with a grim face. On the one hand, he was disgusted with Cui's embarrassing noise, and on the other hand, he probably blamed Xiao Lan for insisting on breaking this layer of window paper.

But what does it matter? Xiao Lan doesn't care about the things that the old man cares about. She is very sure that the old man must be angry this time, but he can only keep his anger to himself because he can't find any fault with Xiao Lan.

Cui has been making trouble for a long time. In the old house, the old man can beat and scold Cui, but others are absolutely not allowed to do so. The old man once said that Cui had no bad intentions, and she would get over the anger after doing anything. Every time the old lady made trouble, Mr. Sheng would say this sentence. Although he changed the wording every time, the meaning was the same.

At night, the mother and daughter went to bed early. Thinking that Shengxuan was not at home, Xiaolan stayed in Zhang's room to accompany her.

"I don't know where your father and Xiaowen are now?" Zhang said softly, "Hey, I don't know if those people I sent out today can find your father. Hey, I don't know when your father will be back..."

Xiao Lan was already sleepy at this time. She closed her eyes, but still answered Zhang's question, "You usually do everything you can to make things difficult for our family. Now that you need someone, you think of us..."

"That being said, but..." Zhang didn't have anything to say.

Although Zhang hesitated to speak, Xiao Lan understood what she meant. It was just a matter of life and death. People are really different, Xiao Lan thought in her heart. Some people are kind and use this sentence to suppress themselves, while some people are shameless and use this sentence to morally blackmail others.

Xiao Lan still had her eyes closed. "We are just complaining. We didn't say we won't help. Mom, we have already sent people out to look for my dad. As for when he will come back, who can say for sure? Xiao Wen is already in the capital. Water from afar cannot quench a nearby fire. He will definitely not be able to come back... As for my dad, he is now a seventh-rank official after all... Although it is just a title, but if he is used as a handyman for others, it is fine if he is used well. If he is not used well, he will be accused of being unfilial and will have to suffer complaints from them for the rest of his life..."
